    I have an .svg file of our church's logo which saves correctly in .png, but there have been some companies that we work with that need it in .eps format. Unfortunately, when I save as .eps, a white background is added and the white lines within the logo are flattened into that white background. When the white background is removed, the white lines disappear also, so the company we send the logo to cannot see the white lines. I'm sure it is probably the way I am saving the file, but I have tried many combinations and none work. I am looking for your guidance. I have attached the .svg file and what she sent me to show what she can see when she opened the .eps vs. the .png.

    I wish I had a receipt - but IΒ΄m like you not able to save as EPS with a transparent background; it just converts the whole thing into a bitmap. I then simplified the file by combining the text elements and the decoration into 2 objects. Then exported to PDF opened in AffinityDesigner and from there exported to EPS. Now it also has the correct file size of 32KB. Not sure if the forum accepts EPS. I can zip it - letΒ΄s see.

    One of the paths in the SVG file had opacity less than 100%.
